❀ 7th Konpeito ❀ [Video/Action] (Backdated to 13th July morning)

[konpeitoqueen]

VIDEO

[When you open up the video feed, you'll see Saionji's face pressed up really close to the screen. As if she doesn't want to show anything else. You can hear an endless pitter-patter of rain in the background, too. HEY GUESS WHO GOT UNCEREMONIOUSLY SCARED OUT OF HER WITS YESTERDAY? The, ahem, recent events in Goldenrod definitely didn't help to calm her down when that happened. Holy shit.

Now that she's awake, though, it's time to be a good citizen and inform everyone of something odd going on! ...Right?]

Someone, send a search party to look for a dead body in the National Park. Specifically, one that might have been torn apart by birds.

[She's not at Goldenrod yet, so she keeps the message short- which might not be a good idea. Who needs explanations, anyway? She's Saionji Hiyoko, just fucking do it!]

ACTION

[If you're in Route 35 or the general north outskirts of Goldenrod, you might spot a girl with a short bob cut walking in the rain with the most sour expression and a pathetic yellow wax umbrella over her head. She's tucked her (utterly drenched) large yellow hat under her right arm. She normally wears it to conceal that hideous new haircut of hers, but she doesn't want to have even more a headache than she already has.

And when I say she looks utterly miserable, I mean 'her kimono is drenched up till kneelength with mud, she's sniffling periodically and there is dried soil between her toes' miserable.

...Will you approach? She looks like she might bite you.]

[Goddammit he was supposed to have escaped the horror game]

Oh my goodness, Saionji! Are you alright!? Where are you!? How on earth did you find a dead body, do you want me to come pick you up?

[konpeitoqueen]

[you will never escape the horror game

not while saionji is here]

Big Bro Garry! Last night, I was out in the National Park, and... [She kinda trails off intentionally, to make him even more worried.] I heard a scream! It definitely wasn't a Pokémon's scream!

[artificialrose]

[Saionji, don't make him more worried, he is one word away from a heart attack]

You poor dear! That must have been horrifying. What did you do?

action!

[synchroswim]

<sub>[He doesn't get how anyone could look so glum in the rain - well, he does, but he's never understood it. Human or Nobody, Demyx has always loved the rain. Maybe that's why he took to his powers back home so easily, maybe it was for another reason. Either way, when he spots Saionji looking like a drowned Rattata, he almost frowns.

Both out of concern and curiosity.

With one look over his shoulder to the two Gyarados slithering behind and a gesture to 'stay', Demyx tugs the hood of his coat further over his head and jogs over towards her.]</sub>

Hey! Miss! A-Are you okay out here?

[konpeitoqueen]

[Why didn't you listen to your Gyarados, Demyx... why. In any case, Saionji peeks her head up a bit, considering her options.

> Respond politely
> Respond not very politely
> Delve deeper into paranoia and wave him off like a madwoman
> Put up a cutesy girl facade to make him give up stuff

After evaluating her life choices, and looking at the two Gyarados, she decides she's too balls-to-the-walls tired to do the third option. So the fourth one comes more naturally.]

...Uuu... sniff, I just heard... [WHY DOES SHE ALWAYS TRAIL OFF LIKE THAT WITHOUT FINISHING HER SENTENCE

gotta keep the suspense in the air]

[video]

[divinitea]

[...oh good lord, Saionji-san, is that you? You look like you're in quite the panic! Time to be helpful.]

You look dreadful, Saionji-san.

[...

...well, she tried.]

[konpeitoqueen]

[You get a very different reception compared to everyone else.]

I know.

[Gosh, Celes. She's too tired to deal with your trash, even though it's more interesting than most people's trash.] Most people would, after going through what I've endured.

[beholdmydemons]

[....


???!!?!]

What the hell did you do?

[WHY IS THERE A DEAD BODY IN THE NATIONAL PARK]

[konpeitoqueen]

How dare you insinuate I had something to do with it, pukey pig!

[...Okay back to the point]

I heard a scream at night, after some chuckling. Uwaaaah, it was so sinister! [While she hates that it happened to her, she's loving the attention, ngl.]

[video]

[captainash]

[Well, that sure is not alarming at all.]

...Are you alright? What happened, where did that dead body come from?

[konpeitoqueen]

I didn't see a dead body... but there might be one now.

[Hi, Captain Ash. She has mixed feelings towards you, so you just get a less bratty face than Celes or Walter.] Sniff- it happened at night! I heard chuckling, then, a scream.

voice

[envy_the_sinners]

A body? What's happened?

[So helpful, this one.]

[konpeitoqueen]

[Voice, alright, she replies easily to that.]

In the dead of night, I heard chuckling... and then a scream! Imagine that, happening to a little girl like me! Uuu... it's a good thing I got away in time...

[Video]

[awesmazings]

[HOLD UP A MINUTE.]

S-saionji?! Wait- what are you talking about? What happened?

[How- but- he thought you couldn't die here though.]

[konpeitoqueen]

[Oh, Jimmy! Wonder if she can extort him a bit with this...]

It's horrible! At night, I heard chuckling near me- then a shrill, loud scream that sent shivers down my spine!

Uuu... I spent the whole night getting away...

[video]

[ardent]

[OKAY LOOK HE'S KIND OF AVOIDED YOU SINCE HE THREW YOU IN THE POOL BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN HE WANTS YOU TO UP AND DIE, SAIONJI, WHAT ARE YOU DOING - ]

Saionji-kun?! Are you all right? What happened?!

[konpeitoqueen]

[lmao who wouldn't avoid her after poolgate 2k14

In any case, she's unsure of whether to use her cute face or a bitchy one for Ishimaru. So he gets some middle ground on that.]

It was late, last night, when I heard some chuckling- then, a shrill scream! Uuu... whatever caused that scream might've wanted to come after me!

[video]

[solas_ion]

...You know, I still don't think people die here, kid.

[Killjoy.]

[konpeitoqueen]

[Is there even any joy here to kill. She just deadpans at that video, and promptly replies without attempting to look either scared or angry.]

Well, something got injured! That, I'm sure most likely happened.

[Video]

[babel_hacker]

[What the actual fuck]

Wait, what do you mean you found an actual dead body?

[DEAD BODIES? IN THIS WORLD?]

[konpeitoqueen]

[NO GOSH STOP JUMPING TO ASSUMPTIONS, GUYS

Though it did grab people's attention pretty well. Gotta have a hook in your speeches, right? Saionji can totally run for president with literary skills like that.]

No... but there could be one. You won't believe what happened, Big Bro Atsuro!

[maybe you could actually tell him what happened]

[video]

[crystalballer]

H-Huh?! But I thought we can't die here! Don't tell me someone lifted the mystic barrier that's been preventing our deaths?!

[THIS IS BAD.]

[konpeitoqueen]

[hi]

I didn't actually find a dead body, moron! If I did, I wouldn't need a search party. [Makes total sense, right?

This guy looks like a tool, so sorry, you get the insulting treatment. Whoops.]

[red_roses]

Saionji! Are you okay?? Did you get hurt? What happened???

[konpeitoqueen]

[On one hand, she doesn't want to freak Ib out.

On another hand, she's a fucking asshole.]

Uuu... it was horrible, Ib! I heard scary chuckling and a shrill scream at night...
